Rare and Lengthy Letter from Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Kook Regarding Sacrifices - London, 1917
"[If it be Hashem's will] that we build the Beit HaMikdash, even before mashiach comes, prophecy will be revealed and wonders will be seen ..." (from this letter)
Lengthy letter about four pages long handwritten and signed by the great gaon Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Kook, chief rabbi of the Land of Israel, addressed to the renowned scholar R' Menasheh Grossberg. London, 1917.
The letter deals with issues related to sacrifices in the Beit HaMikdash, the Gr"a's opinion on pegimat hamizbeach, and more.
This letter appears in the book Mishpat Kohen (Jerusalem, 1937), pp. 178-180.
During Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Kook's tenure as rabbi of Jaffa, he traveled to Europe in 1914 to participate in Agudat Yisrael's Knessiah. However, WWI broke out and Rabbi Kook remained there, unable to return to the Holy Land. He stayed for a while in London, until he went back to the Land of Israel in 1919.
Letters from him during this period are very rare, especially of such length!
